Mark 1: 16-20

(Mark 1: 16-20) Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.  And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.  And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.  And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.  And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

Jesus made disciples of Peter and Andrew, the fishermen, and James and John, sons of the three generations. They were all fishermen. The word fisherman means people who catch fish, but become fishermen who catch man. Fishing means getting caught with bait. In order to save the spirits who have left the kingdom of God and have come to this world, fishermen appear. It shows that the salvation of the spirit is like fishing.

Jesus taught in the synagogue and preached the gospel of Heaven. The synagogue was where the Israelites taught and learned the law. So naturally the Jews gathered together. There Jesus preached the gospel of Heaven. The gospel of heaven is to repent and return to the kingdom of God. Repentance means that it is sin that leaves God, and repent of sin and return to God. Jesus healed many sick people in the early days of ministry. So rumors spread. He tells us that all who have left God are trapped in this world. There is darkness because everyone is trapped. That is why Jesus make to see those who cannot see.

In Matthew 16:24『Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.』 Here Jesus says two things. The first is, "Deny yourself." Denying oneself is the condition of repentance, because if one does not deny himself, one cannot be born again. "Self" is the soul formed from the flesh that received from the parents. When you deny this in front of the Word of God, you receive a body of spirit from God as a gift. That is why the spirit comes to life. Being a spiritual being. The Bible refers to spiritual beings as saints. When you enroll in the church and register, you are called a saint, but unless you are born again, you cannot become a saint.

People that born again can become a fisherman for man. He who can carry his cross cannot cross without being born again. When Jesus was on the cross, the disciples all fled because they were not born again. However, the resurrected Jesus visited the disciples and made them realize, and the disciples repented and were born again. The one born again carries his cross is taken with Jesus.

Being born again is not a change of mind in the body, but a state in which the previous body dies and is reborn as a spirit body. There are two bodies. It is a visible body and an invisible body. Jesus is to deny the visible body. That is why the mind of the body and the mind of the spirit are fighting each other. If you are not born again, you will not be saved. You have to deny yourself to be born again. And the one who denies him will take his cross with Jesus.

A wonderful work takes place when a born again person carries his cross with Jesus, preaches and teaches the gospel.『 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 』(Matthew 4: 23-24)

The fake gospel is spreading today. Satan is making every effort to prevent this. The Saints must find the lost sheep by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is to make sinners repent and return. Today the gospel of repentance is disappearing. The church does not speak of repentance, but preaches the fake gospel in a way that saves you if you believe in Jesus.

Mark 1: 21-28

(Mark 1: 21-28) And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.   And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.   And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.   And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.   And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.   And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. Jesus made disciples of Peter and And...

Mark 2: 1-12절

(Mark 2: 1-12 절 ) And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the...

Mark 1:1-8

(Mark 1:1-8) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Jud æ a, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.   The Gospel of Mark is the first written Gospel. Mark is not one of Jesus' twelve discipl...
